Prologue: My Little Secret


Rory was in her dorm room sitting at the computer just surfing the Internet. The radio was playing that All American Rejects secret song.
She remembered Lane telling her that there is actually a website that puts up postcards that people send in that have their secrets on it.
Rory was curious so she decided to check it out so she went to the website.

She looked through the postcards. Some of them made her laugh because they were just so random. Others were sad and down right
depressing. After browsing through the secrets she felt inspired to share one of her own secrets.

Rory took out a 4x6 index card and started on her design. She searched for a book and once she found it she did something she felt was sac religious,
she ripped out a page. Rory glued the passage onto the index card. Next she got online and printed off a picture of Romeo and Juliet from the movie
that was made in the late sixties. Before gluing it on she tore it in half separating Romeo and Juliet. She placed them on the opposite side of the short
passage. Then she grabbed a marker and wrote,

I often wonder about the boy who was supposed to be my Romeo.
I haven't seen him since he left for military school years ago.

There. It really did help writing her secret out. She flipped the index card over, wrote the address she was sending it to, and then placed a stamp
at the top right hand corner.

The next step was to mail it. She knew that no one would know she sent it, but just the thought of having a secret, that she hadn't even told her mom,
out there for anyone to see was kind of scary.

She walked to the mail room holding on to the postcard for dear life. When she got to the mail box she pulled the blue handle and stared down the
black abyss contemplating whether or not to actually send it. After a short conversation with herself and the fact that she had already placed a stamp
on it she dropped her secret into the darkness. Rory let out a sigh of relief. She had done it. Her secret was out.

It had been about a week since Rory had mailed in her postcard. She found herself sitting at her computer again just surfing the Internet. She decided
to check the post secret website to see if her postcard made it on. She scrolled through the secrets and soon found hers. She smiled.

It now was a month since Rory let her secret out. She would check the website every now and then looking at other peoples' secrets. One day as she
was scrolling through the website she saw one that caught her attention. The postcard and two unused PJ Harvey tickets on them from 2001 and said,

Mary, I often wonder about you. Here are tickets to the concert you refused
to go with me to. I don't blame you. And by the way military school was okay
and I am doing fine. –The Romeo that was supposed to be there-

The only words running through Rory's head were, Oh.my.God. She thought that this had to be some kind of freak coincidence. But just to make sure
she grabbed another index card.What to write? What to write?

I just read a secret addressed to Mary with concert tickets.
I think it was about me. But my name is NOT Mary.
Do I need to spell my name out for you again?

She sent her card the next day and waited anxiously to see if it made on the website on Sunday. Sunday came by fast and she checked the sight hoping
her card made it. Yes it did. Now she waited another week to see if there was another secret from 'Romeo.'

It was now two weeks after she sent her last card and she went to the website and scrolled through the website until there was a postcard that made her catch
her breath. The card had these words on it.

I always knew your name, I just preferred Mary.

Okay so this could still be some coincidence, right? Who was she kidding of course this wasn't a coincidence. She looked at the card again and
saw at the bottom of it there was small writing that said,

Mary if you are still in CT look me up so we can stop wondering.

Okay that proves it wasn't a mere coincidence. Now the question was whether she should look up Tristan DuGrey or not. She started to panic
a little bit. She only sent that card so she could get it off her chest. She didn't think that he would see it.

Rory called Lane to let her know what had happened thanks to the stupid website she had introduced her to. Somewhere in the conversation
Lane convinced Rory to look Tristan up. Next thing she knew she was looking for the name DuGrey in a Hartford phone book. There were
three people with the last name. There was an Alan, a Janlen, and a Tristan. She stared at his number for a while. To call or not to call, that
is the question. After a five minute personal debate and a short pros and cons list she dialed his number praying for the answering machine.

"Hello?"

Crap, that's not an answering machine.
